The Taxpayer Identification Number or Social Security Number I provided is correct;

I am not subject to backup withholding because: (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified me that I am no longer subject to backup withholding; and

I am a U.S. citizen or other U.S. person

The Internal Revenue Service does not require your consent to any provision of this document other than the certifications required to avoid backup withholding.
